Yesterday, after Rahul Gandhi had finished his address at the 112th annual session and PHD Annual Awards for Excellence 2017, boxer Vijender Singh asked his opinion on sports development in the country and strategies he would undertake if he becomes the Prime Minister. He added that he had never seen any Member of the Parliament (MP) or MLA play sports but has only seen them inaugurate sports events.

To this Rahul replied that he is actively into sports and mentioned that he is a black belt in Aikido, a Japanese martial art. “Sports has always been important in my life. Normally I play sports for at least an hour. However, in the last few months I’ve not done it.” Rahul added that he doesn’t talk about it publicly. After this Vijender asked Rahul to upload some videos so that people would get inspired by him, to which he agreed.
